: Total Military Casualties Lost in the Second World War, by Country
  (in thousands)

Average Percentage of Casualties Returned to Combat: 55.20%

This is the total military casualties of dead and wounded, not including
civilians. 'Returned' means the manpower that is returned to the
manpower pool (wounded).

\* It is unknown whether these figures include both Communist and
Nationalist Chinese casualties, or just the Nationalist Chinese
casualties.
